10k to spend

[the94camryman]

suppose you all had 10k to spend on fixing/modifying your gen3. how would you all do it? and dont say buy a new car. im thinking engine work, suspension, wheels, body work, window tinting, body kit. after its been painted, that should take most of the 10k

[hoiskii]

Well. I would buy a brand new Yaris with 3 year warranty.
In other words, I do not think it makes any sense to FIX the car that costs ~1-3K spending 10 grands.
If you are talking of tune ups, I would get a supper-duper suspension and brakes and discs, install new leather seats, in dash GPS/DVD/Satellite radio and, ... well, through out the back seats and install there a 1kW subwoofer or something that guarantees a decent VERTICAL TAKE OFF acceleration.

buy a 3sgte! turbo! tints! rims! lower it!. hmmmm. repiant da car if necessary. go wit the rmm lip. and dats about it. i really wouldnt spend much on the outside. jst make it fast. dats all. u noe. make it SLEEPER.

[the94camryman]

heres what im thinking. the pistons need to be re-ringed. so have that done, along with new bearings, gaskets, and valve stem seals and guides. then a new exhaust system with 2.5" piping and an hks muffler with a magnaflow resonator. nice and quiet, but free flowing. then get some rims and lower it on JiC coilovers. that'll be about 4k there. then a gen3.5 bumper and headlight conversion with the rmm lip, along with some sideskirts and razzi rear valence. then get the bodywork and get it repainted. that'll be about 8k there. then redo the interior with heated leather seats and leather doors. new dash and console. and get it cleaned like crazy.

i4 or V6?

[JCamry94]

that's a lot of money bro, but if you're up to it good luck!

And, curious about the answer to '_' s question as well..

I would fix anything wrong with it mechanically, spend $300 on a new head unit and speakers. and put the rest in the bank as a downpayment towards my next car.

drive it up to Toronto, Canada and let Tony the Tiger work his magic

8000 to tony
1000 for accomdations and food for the wait

[ToyCam187]

I would do...
an engine rebuild, just to get it running like new
K-sports
Wheels-probably 17's
breaks
RMM Lip
Tint
Then save money for upkeep

[haycamry]

I would get a $6 steering wheel cover and a $100 cd player if you dont have one and put the rest of the money in a 6-12 month CD.

either sell the camry and buy something more sportier, more off-road capable or ?

or bank the money and not invest in something that will lose value quickly.
